Woodlawn - Stranorlar

Woodlawn Cottage is a detached  six bedroom bungalow that can comfortably sleep twelve to fourteen people. For this reason it is very suitable for larger families or groups.

New for 2011

Please enquire about our 2 bedroom ground floor apartment

From the outside, appearances are deceptive, as the interior space is much larger than one would imagine. The house has an upstairs floor which occupies the roof space, consisting of the landing, a bathroom and three spacious bedrooms.

Downstairs; the entrance hall leads onto a front bedroom on the left, the lounge, with an open fireplace on the right, and to the rear, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, a utility room, two other bedrooms with en-suites, and a main bathroom.

In addition to all this; as the house is built on a sloping property, there is a lower ground floor accessible from the side and back, which contains a separate self-contained 'flat'. The property is neatly kept and well maintained. It has double glazing and oil fired central heating for the colder months, and the heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included.

Location

The cottage is situated in a cul-de-sac in a quiet and peaceful location in the 'Woodlawn' residential area from which it gets its name; - and is located in Stranorlar east, approximately 300 meters from the main street, making it well within walking distance of all the local amenities, shops, pubs, etc.

As the cottage is conveniently located close to the main N15 road, which connects with Donegal Town in the west, and Castlefinn and Lifford to the east, it makes an ideal touring base for visitors wishing to explore this part of south eastern Donegal, as well as county Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

Stranorlar is twinned with its neighbouring town; Ballybofey. They are separated by the picturesque River Finn; one of the best salmon rivers in Europe.

Local Attractions

• Anglers will need a Lough Agency rod license and a permit to fish their choice of stretch. Part of the river is owned by Mick Hucknall of the band 'Simply Red'.
